"Warm air rises by convection to the upstairs."

Explanation: Warm air is less dense than cool air, so it rises and carries heat upward. This convection creates warmer temperatures upstairs. (Heat does not flow from cooler to warmer, and conduction between air layers is weak compared with convection.)
